this is not some washington commission, not something where folks will study the issue six months and publish a report that gets read and then pushed aside. this is a team that has a very specific task to pull together real reforms right now. i asked joe to lead this effort in part because he wrote the 1994 crime bill than help law enforcement bring down the rate of violent crime in this country. that plant -- that bill also included the assault weapons banned but that was publicly supported at the time by former presidents including ronald reagan. the good news is there's already a growing consensus for us to build from. the majority of americans support banning the sale of military-style assault weapons. a majority of americans support banning the sale of high capacity ammunition clips. a majority of americans support laws requiring background checks before all gun purchases so that criminals cannot take advantage of legal loopholes to purchase a gun from somebody who will not take the responsibility of doing a background check at all. i urge the new congress to hold a vote on these

. >> reporter: there are new calls in washington to bring back the assault weapons ban and other gun control measures. that is having an impact here. one of of the things we're seeing is a run on some gun supplies. this rack here used to be filled with magazines like this. but because of concerns of gun control laws, you can see they're all gone. supporters say it is not harder to get ahold of the weapon, but looking at beefing up school security. they say arming teachers is one option that should at least be considered. >> i know there has been a knee jerk reaction against that. i think there should at least be a discussion of that. if people were armed, not just a police officer but other school officials that were trained, and chose to have a weapon, certainly there would have been an opportunity to stop aggressors coming into the school. >> reporter: state senator frank nice nicely wants more officers in the school, including on the elementary school level. and if that is not an option, then he, too, says arm the teachers. >> the goal is to have some kind of security in all the s
